I've heard both from runners, actually. Some women insist that marathons hurt more, while other laugh at that. Put me in the "childbirth hurts way more" camp. I remember thinking about that as I was running the Rockford marathon last spring. However, telling myself over and over during that race (which sucked, by the way, because I went out too fast), was small comfort, haha. I finished Rockford, but man, did I suffer from mile 18 on. Ugh. Too bad there isn't an epidural for marathons.
Olympic runner Kara Goucher (pictured above) who just gave birth to her first child a few weeks ago, posted her take on the marathon vs. childbirth experience.
